Wednesday Open. 10th Aug 2010
13 anglers turned up today to fish the open match along with 9 Pleasure anglers which included some lads all the way from Lancashire 😯
The weather today at the lake started of bright and sunny but soon went overcast with no wind on the lake.
It seems the fish are on the move round the little lake again with pegs 4,6,7 and 8 all doing well today. Derek Hammond on peg 6 was fishing short on the corn to put together and amazing 273lb which was also good enough to take the Peg King title off Mick Jones.
Also in the frame was Pat Pritchard fishing from peg 4, he managed to put 230lb on the scales and put his last match behind him 😀 Completing the frame was Kevin Arathoom fishing from peg 8 who put 166lb on the scales.
For the rest of the anglers fishing the match the fishing was very patchy and bites were hard to come by.
The pleasure anglers were having a good time and John hopes you made it home ok and enjoyed your time at the lake.
On to the results….

Todays winner, Derek Hammond. Picture was taken in the winter not today
Thanks for reading, Si and Eddie.
An excellent performance by Derek, well deserving of being a Peg King.
Although it would be nicer if I could stay on the list for longer than a week next time!
Always a pleasure to fish Rolfs Lake as the fish are such beauties, my God but they do pull a bit. Watching Paul Jay lose so many fish always makes me smile!
Take care of your top two’s chaps.
Roll on the 25th for my next visit. I might even open a fresh tin of meat for that one.
Can you not make the night match on the 20th Mick ?
Just a mention for Pat Pritchard as this was his first double ton. Well done Pat 🙂
Hi, Simon.
I gave up night fishing back in my 20’s (not the 1920’s!) when I discovered I enjoyed my nice warm bed with my nice warm wife!
I too was pleased for Pat, a fine fellow well deserving of a double Ton.
Dont worry Si i’ll be there on the 20th to annoy you.
I haven’t even had a ton out of rolfs yet 🙁 I can’t get the feeding right, I always foul hook em’. Well done, some nice weights there
